Prediction 2025 Fixture

[Keys]

 

[flamingEMBERS]

I actually hate marquee time slots that feature the same games every year. Sure have the time slot, but rotate the teams. Just do it by ladder position the previous year.

1st v 3rd opens the season on Thursday
2nd v 4th is Easter Monday etc

We’d be way more inclined to get good games on TV and teams will be more commercially successful the better they are as opposed to minnows getting peanuts.

Yeah was always funny when they would market the huge blockbuster opening to the season every year as Carlton v Richmond when they were both cellar dwellers

If we manage to beat all the 2024 bottom 10 teams next year, we shall be in the top 8.

Would kill for some flat track bullying where we're the bullies for once.

And the voice of affirmation.

One of them always seems to be a cellar dweller though. Not many years when both have made the 8.

I hate the fixture because it's not traditional (they only started it in late 2000s) and is usually a mismatched game.

Opposition touches the ball:

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall!!!"

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Surely they can’t be wearing this as their away to us at Optus in R1? Clash strip needed straight up for their first outing??

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Might be like us, and wear the same strip home and away unless there’s a clash.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Yeah they barely ran the old clash. Probably be just against the teams with red Sydney, St Kilda, Essendon, Melbourne and then maybe a Brisbane and Crows

 

[garlic munchers]

Any danger of being renamed by the AFL as the Sunday Arvo Eagles?

Youd think theyd give us someone else, rather than make the Roos go down to Bunbury to play us twice.

At least it might be winnable I guess?

It would be a practice run for the Premiership season. Moving a home game across country to a regional city is no minor undertaking. Eagles will also need to be preparing, as its not an AFL standard oval (so no guarantees to have all the facilities you'd expect).

 

[Cuzz09]

Will they play 2 practice games??

The Roos are definitely being groomed as the 3rd WA team. Western Greys would be an easy transition name.

Looks like we are playing Richmond on the 17th February as the "self-arranged" practice match.

No further details released yet. Not sure if it will be played in Perth. 17th Feb is a Monday.
